Mate if give a destination of where you want to based yourself gives the crew and ideas for places to train ! Phuket fighters street, huge range of gyms in close proximity, from hi end ! Tiger MT to many good gyms and accommodation very geared to people who come to train Muma,s my fav ! Pattaya a few very famous and good but spread out a little ! But Patts has the girl factor can literally mess with your training if you let it ! Bangkok has many big money gyms ! If you want a cooler training area up north of Chang mai,Rai a little more laid back grass roots no frills and a little bit cooler,cheaper training than the more falung orientated gyms like say tiger google is ! I live here mate Muay Thai is bigger than any other sport there gyms every where ! For a first timer I would recommend Phuket ! Mama,s accommodation will pick you up at airport her bungalows are awesome your literally walking distance from a shit load of gyms sign up for a few days in each till your find one you like and don't get lost in the crowd ! Also Phuket doesn't have such a bad girl factor until you get a day off ! IV been coming here since I was 20 now 58 a live in Pattaya I train at ISS gym hardcore hot as fuck ! 38c+ but train your arse off before you come a 2 hour session in Thai heat will fuck you up for a few weeks ! Drink plenty of electrolytes and water to help you adjust gear is pretty cheap and a great souvenir of your time ! If in Bangkok ? Action zone near MBK centre to stock up cheapest and best range in Thailand ! Don't bring to much shit buy it here and it's always hot as fuck all the time ! 30-32c thongs a good set running shoes ! you will be running! every decent gym does warm up runs don't bring jeans everything else just get here ! If you have big bucks and want world-class training alongside world class trainers and champions a month or less ! Tiger Phuket, Pattaya and Bangkok Fairtex ! And Sanchi,s gym Bangkok if you want to train with the best of the sport ! Message me any questions if need happy to help ! Muzza Pattaya !
